Hunger Games

So for shits and giggles, I've been working on a personal project illustrating the Hunger Games - only gotten so far as the sketch stage because I can't seem to stop drawing Katniss in trees. Also, it's difficult coming up with a character template/design for her that's tough, yet vulnerable - delicate, yet strong.

So far...

Poster

Just realized I never posted that poster for the Lincoln :) Lots of text for a small space - initially I was told there would be half that!

New Art

Having a small show at the Lincoln Theater in DC at the beginning of August - not sure yet of the date of the reception. I'll post facebook invites when I know.

But here are some of the pieces in the show! The theme is Myths & Legends. There will be two more pieces, but I uh...haven't done them yet, as I am in the process of moving closer to work and in with my wonderful boyfriend, Andy.

Sorry for the low quality of the scans, I miss the large scanner in the senior studios.

Doing a charity donation for the red cross (through my aunt, who's running a silent auction) and I needed to send a sample for the portrait I'm donating. SOmeone wins and I draw them/their kid/their cat.

So I'm doing recognizable celebrities. Adrian Grenier and either Natalie Portman or Anna Paquin.

Inspired by my collection of vintage photos....there'll be more of these, I love these ladies. So much personality.

Ha, someone follows my blog! I did not know blogs could be followed, but this is cool! So, thank you, person who follows my blog - that is really nifty!

A POST

Holy moly, it's a post!

So, basically I haven't been up to much, art-wise, outside of work (which I can't post - the toy world is weirdly similar to the video game world in that if I posted it, I bet I'd be fired)....till this past week, when I got a phone call from an aspiring author whom Allan (buying him dinner) recommended me too.

I have a freelance job! I'm doing 12 page illustrations + cover and layout design for an educational children's book type thingy. And, here's a sketch of the first page illo and the characters that repeat throughout the book.
